This is a list of vice presidential or similar positions, and their current holders.
A vice president is a standalone office existing for deputizing or replacing a president. In other countries where the vice presidency is absent or vacant, a separate office or series of offices may instead be designated ex officio to act as head of state, for example the chairperson of a legislature, a head of government or a dormant commission.
